CITY OF STOCKTON <br /> OOA <br /> A;V <br /> DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS <br /> CITY HALL <br /> STOCKTON, CA 95202-1997 <br /> San Joaquin County Health District ENVlRp�OE, <br /> 1601 E. Hazelton FER1011-ISERVC�SLTy <br /> Stockton, Ca <br /> UNLEADED FUEL TANK LOCATED AT STOCKTON'S POLICE DEPARTMENT <br /> We have complied with your directive to stop operation of the unleaded <br /> tank system as of June 28, 1988. However, I would like to request <br /> that Stockton Service Station be allowed to replace the leaking vapor <br /> recovery line, eliminating any further contamination of the site. This <br /> would be a temporary repair to keep the Police Facility in operation <br /> until the site evaluation is completed and the cleanup process is started. <br /> This should be no longer than three to four months. <br /> The Stockton Police Department is a twenty-four hour operation with a <br /> total fleet of 190 vehicles. In a normal twenty-four hour period <br /> approximately 700 gallons of regular unleaded fuel is dispensed. The <br /> majority of vehicles are serviced between 0630 a.m. thru 12 midnight. <br /> The vehicles include patrol units, investigation units (narcotics, juvenile, <br /> and detective) , administrative vehicles, and special vehicles (swat team van, <br /> strike van, etc.) . The closing of our unleaded gas pump for an extended <br /> period, especially over weekends and holidays, would not only cause a <br /> major inconvenience but would delay the patrol officer's ability to begin <br /> his/her shift and would increase our response time to emergency calls, <br /> especially during shift changes. <br /> Also, our ability to service our vehicles, especially patrol units, at the <br /> Police Facility allows our north beat units to reach their assigned area <br /> via I-5 within minutes. With the 4th of July this weekend and increased <br /> outdoor activities during the summer it would be extremely disruptive to <br /> have our vehicles travel from one to five miles to obtain fuel from <br /> another City site. With the exception of the City Corporation Yard, none <br /> of the other sites have adequate amounts of fuel to meet our needs. The <br /> Corporation Yard which has a 12,000 gallon unleaded fuel tank also has a <br /> high useage factor. This only increases the amount of response time to <br /> emergency calls. <br /> Your cooperation in this matter would be appreciated and affects the <br /> safety and operation of the City of Stockton. <br /> GERALD CATES <br /> ASSISTANT FLEET MANAGER <br /> GC:tw <br /> "STOCKTON...CALIFORNIA'S SUNRISE SEAPORT" <br />
